The diference is Coleman is dead and cannot be hurt by what we say. And as far as I know no one hear knows him personally, they are not a loved one.

These people are alive and suffering...........I love these people very much and they love me.

She could not go to her parents, I understand why.
And for him, his mom did nothing but yell and make him feel worthless and as if he was a failure.
He is not, he made a mistake, he is young and these things happen.
I just gave them someone to vent to without the fear of being yelled at or told how wrong or how bad he is or who was to blame.
Everyone needs a person they can trust, someone who will support and love them regardless of the situation, in good and bad times in happy and bad time times. Not everyone has a family that they can go to or trust to understand and not judge. For some it's a neighbor or school teacher, a co-worker or pastor or a friend one has meet in life. Trust is a funny thing, you earn it without even knowing it, just by being you.
There are scores of people who feel alone and afraid in this world. Queen of Poop I am so sorry for your heartache. Hugs to you and I am hoping your life is a million times better now.
People sometimes feel they have no one to turn to, that no one will understand or be willig to help. In a world of billions of people when we are with people all day long, married, have parents and friends some still feel totally alone . Sometimes the person you trust and speak to is almost a stranger but in them you find some kindness or understanding that makes it ok to trust them.
If I have helped these young people and I know I have all the mean words and cutting remarks don't mean a thing.
Their happiness is what counts.

However, it's okay to laugh at his family but not okay for anyone here to comment on the content of this thread??

For the record: I'm not criticizing the fact that you helped someone that needed help, Marigold. I just don't get your double standard here.
